   The first book is very good-looking, I highly recommend it. It is not a brainless novel, it has logic and plot, and is not too abrupt. The female protagonist really relies on her wisdom and courage and the rules of understanding people's hearts to make a comeback. Of course, there is also the help of our male protagonist (not that kind of power) With the help of others, both the male protagonist and the female protagonist were really transparent at first, but the male protagonist helped the female protagonist to make perjury, so that the female protagonist's charges were better cleared, which was considered mutual confirmation). When the female protagonist confronted the people who slandered her grandfather's family, she was awesome!

    So pretty, so pretty. When the heroine first entered the palace, the hero treated him like a knife, but he still doted on her. Later, the male protagonist slowly began to like her. In fact, the heroine has no love for the hero, but she is similar to an ally who fights side by side. I particularly like the male protagonist, who has a very ambitious personality. He is a very good emperor and he is not the kind of stupid emperor. He is the kind of emperor who dotes on his concubines. Not only does it depend on which one he likes more, he will favor each concubine based on her family background. For example, if that family is too powerful, he may be a little wary and will not favor her. Ever since I watched him, I can no longer stand all the Gong Dou Wen stories.
